Watching the effort you are making with the details inspires me to work harder.

Thanks for the comments
The cylindrical part of the boiler is modelled in a single main part. The kit includes 4 formers and I linked them two by two, as you can see in the third picture. |

I confess to ignore the use of the assembly shown in the first pictures. Regarding the chimney, the red section makes it look nice.

The longerons are made from two parts each, both being laminated on 1mm thick card. Not bad for a narrow track locomotive! The suspension is made of leaf springs, placed both inside and above the longerons.

The main structure is complete. The narrow track is apparent on the pictures.

Beautiful assembly Ricardo, it reminds me of a real Marklin or Fleischman train, but the paper version is by far more attractive .

As usual, the spoked wheels take a lot of work to assemble and require a good deal of card cutting. There are 8 of them, with the same geometry. |

Flawless work. I have never made spoked locomotive wheels, but I assume they are not easy.

@ Michael - The trick is to use a jig. It serves to fix the inner and outer wheel parts and should have the spoke positions printed. It is convenient to add the spokes in a sequence that prevents distortion. Another snag is that some spokes must be trimmed, sometimes at an odd angle, because neither the inner nor the outer wheel parts are round.
A couple of pictures for the braking system. As always, I used rolled paper instead of wire. |
